The Indie Reviewers List

This page provides links to where Indie books are reviewed. If you review Indie books please go here and I’ll add your link to the list.

To be on this list the Indie Reviewer has to be:

  • Actively posting reviews
  • Review eBooks
  • Not charge for their reviews
  • Not be affiliated to a publisher
  • Have submission guidelines in place for an Indie author to submit an eBook
  • Putting a link back to TheIndieView on their site

If someone asks you for a paid review let me know and I’ll take them off the list.

I try to keep the list as current as possible, but if you encounter a site that hasn’t updated reviews for a couple of months then let me know. I’ll take them off the list.

Bark's Book NonsenseBark's Book Nonsense“I read horror, romance & erotica of all flavors and some general fiction if it has a touch of darkness. I much prefer character based plots over action. Please read a few of my reviews before inquiring. My reviews are light-hearted but are always brutally honest.
